One morning, a mouse decides to make an omelette. There’s just one problem. He needs an egg. Where will he find one? He knows, he’ll ask his neighbour, the blackbird. As it turns out, the blackbird doesn’t have an egg, but does have flour, and an idea.

And so begins the journey through the neighbourhood, as the mouse’s original desire for an omelette, and his subsequent quest for an egg, turns into a new idea for a cake, with each ingredient contributed by a different neighbour.

Along the way, he learns valuable lessons about asking for help, sharing what he has, considering the needs of others, and being open to new ideas.
